Intoxication time
As noise time is called in the hunter language the mating season of the wild boar .
time
Brooks can - provided they have enough food available - become sexually mature after 8 to 10 months. As a rule, boars are only able to reproduce in their second year of life. The intoxication runs between November and the end of January and is determined by the sex cycle of the brooks. If the food is in good condition, this can be done at any time of the year, as boars are always ready to cover.
Leitbach hypothesis
In German-speaking countries, especially in the hunting press and among some hunters, the idea, based on a hypothesis by Heinz Meynhardt , persists that the oldest, reproductive brook in the pack, the so-called Leitbache, prevents lower-ranking, young brooks in the pack from reproducing and would act as a "brake on growth" of the population. According to current research, both are wrong - while the mating season can be synchronized within individual herds, the suppression of reproduction is neither empirically proven nor plausible in view of the wild boar described as r-strategists . In contrast, various studies suggest that a good physical condition of the respective animal due to the nutritional situation is decisive for early sexual maturity and participation in reproduction.
